    How Much Steel can a Longbow Pierce?

    Longbows could not always pierce medieval steel armor. Their changes of piercing a tank are pretty much nil. I'd never have thought of the question, though.:)

    ENWorld Fantasy Basketball 2005-06 (Sign up now!)

    2004 was more challenging than 2003 in many ways for me because of all the injurioes my team had. When your 1st round pick only plays 30 games or so you know you are in trouble. I don't care if you talk, if you don't mind me ignoring you if it gets annoying.:) I vote for keeping the second...

    Why are people so uncomfortable with PvP?

    I'm developing a weird take on this. I'm not a fan of PvP but sometimes I wonder if it's needed. The PC's in my Rokugan game ended up basically no longer talking to each other at all and working behind the scenes a little against each other. The group had unleashed a great 'evil'. Who wasn't...

    Looking to Scare the $#!+ Out of My Players

    The unknown is a great way to make people nervous, I agree completely. It's even better when they think they know what's going on and you turn it around. In my Rokugan game, the PCs were ready to let one group they didn't like fight a monk they knew was a badass, then sweep in and try to...

    The Great Anti-Hero Showdown(Nominations Open)

    Hm...anitheros. 59. The Vampire Alucard from the Hellsing manga. Kills vampires mostly because modern, disrespectful vampires annoy him, while he looks for a powerful opponents to fight to break his boredom. Utterly ruthless in pursuing his goals and will kill as many people as needed or is...

    You are the head of a major network: Firefly vs the new Battlestar Galactica

    Battlestar Galactica is my choice, easy. Though with the internet buzz Firefly always got, I figured it would win the poll. My just be personal preference, but I really like Galactica. While Firefly's liternal 'western in space' only annoyed me. The trailer looks cool for the movie, but the...

    The French

    I like the Culture Shock books. Good information and examples. I bought the one for Japan and found it very useful.

    Is Larry Elmore still popular?

    I really don't like Otus's work at all. I'm sure he can do better, but the link showing his stuff wasn't good at all. I like Elmore's stuff, not my favorite but I love the use of light and color.

    Would you give your 2nd level party 30 thousand gold?

    Funnily enough, back in University I did this in a Rolemaster game. Playing a Barbarian, very first adventure. The GM wasn't very good and gave us some good magic items and alot of money. I made a deal with the other characters. I took the money, they got the items. The character then had...

    How I like to be 'DMd'

    It's often a matter of group expectations. I have no trouble at all saying 'No, because I said so.' during the game. Later on after the game or during the week we can work out long term rules. But in the short term, arguing rules just hurts the game way too much. Now if I can just break...

    Is it possible to have an exciting and long-lasting campaign in a historical setting?

    It's very possible. I've run a game set in China for a while, basically a homage to the old kung fu movies. That's about as close as I've gotten to any sort of historical compaign. I like the idea, but don't have the time.

    PC on PC action!

    I've been involved in this before, mostly via the traditional 'girl I was dating at the time sitting in on the game'. If only the RL relationship had gone as well as the in game relationships.:) The only recent case of this was in a DnD game a few years ago and it was pretty understated and...

    Do you color your hair?

    My hair is naturally a very dark brown, so I dyed it dark brown, just to confuse people. They know it's different, just can't quite tell how.:) I've threatened my parents that if they ever start telling me I've got grey hair, I'll dye it black and fix the problem.
